Author Harper Kincaid Interview and $30.00 Amazon Gift Card Contest

BBB: What’s your favorite type of party? HK: Small dinner parties of around eight to ten people. Big crowds overwhelm me, so these are perfect – especially if someone else is cooking!BBB: What’s your funniest memory as an author?HK: When I told my mother-in-law about my books, thinking she’d be shocked when I explained they’re ‘really kinda dirty’ and her eyes got all glittery and she responded, ‘Good! I’m counting on it!” She’s a trip!BBB: We all need a hero! Tell us about your protagonist(s)? Was there a real-life inspiration behind him or her?HK: Gosh, if I knew a Davill Cavill in real life I’d be in bed all day with him and not writing about it! No, his character is totally imaginary, but I did model his physical appearance as a cross between Henry Cavill and David Giuntoli from Grimm – hence the name, David Cavill.BBB: Please tell us more about Bind Me Before You Go and the storyline that drives it. (Don’t use the book synopsis, please write this in your own words.)HK: Bind Me Before You Go is really about two people trying to escape where they came from and trying to find out who they’re going to be – and they use sex and rope bondage as a vehicle to get there. This is not a typical BDSM story. It’s not about the rope. It’s about Cassidy learning to stop pleasing others and find what drives her as a woman – both sexually and emotionally. And for David it’s about actually learning to let go of his preconceived notions about himself and where he comes from in order to find some happiness.BBB: How many more books will there be in the Serve series?HK: Great question! I don’t think there’s any end in sight as of now, as long as readers are interested in the characters we are all creating.BBB: What sets Serve series apart from other books in the same genre?HK: So much! First of all, we have a bevy of authors who contribute to this series – not just one or two. Also, many of the stories we explore aren’t just copycat 50 Shade stories. They are as varied and multidimensional as the authors themselves.BBB: What types of characters can readers expect in your world?HK: While the men are certainly strong, they aren’t the typical doms. Also, my heroines are sassy chicks. They aren’t some doe-eyed ingenues blankly looking to some guy to tell them what sex is all about.BBB: While you were writing, did you ever feel as if you were one of the characters?HK: Oh sure! There’s a LOT of me in Cassidy.BBB: What was the hardest part of writing Bind Me Before You Go?HK: Trying to determine which kink I was going to write about when I wasn’t part of this world. I did a lot of research though…my internet browser history would shock the neighbors!BBB: If you were a color what color would you be and why?HK: LOL – Variations between red and hot pink. The answer should be obvious, but just to make sure…yes, I’m passionate and playful, intense and dramatic. Sometimes.BBB: What’s coming up for you for the rest of 2015?HK: I’m in the midst of reworking the next book for me in the Serve series, called CLAIM ME BEFORE I BREAK and the last book in my Break on Through series with Samhain called GIRL BREAKER. I’m so excited for both of them!Buy a print copy of Bind Me Before You Go from Amazon by clicking here.Buy a Kindle copy of Bind Me Before You Go from Amazon by clicking here. - ONLY $1.99!

About Harper Kincaid

Author Bio:

A woman with the heart of a revolutionary,The mind of a pragmatist, And the inappropriate humor of your tipsy BFF.
Born in California and raised in South Florida, I’ve moved around like a gypsy with a bounty on my head ever since. Along the way, I’ve worked as a community organizer, a professional matchmaker, an art teacher, a popular blogger, and a crisis counselor (to name a few). All the while, longing to have the guts and follow-through to do what I really wanted: to write and become a published author. That wish has finally come true and I’m tickled hot pink with confetti over it.
What else? Hmm…I’m a kid of the Seventies and I love indie, lo-fi, complaint rock played on vinyl, wearing black, the theater, well-informed optimism, happy endings (both kinds), and making those close to me laugh ’til they snort. I’m a self-admitted change junkie, loving new experiences and places, but have now happily settled in the cutest lil’ town, Vienna, Virginia.
